After quite a comfortable stay in the salt hotel we had an early breakfast and headed out in the jeep. Today involved a lot of driving, with most of the day spent inside the car getting to our next destination. We visited several lagoons along the way. The landscapes were beautiful and the mountains reflected in the water of the lagoons. There were lots of flamingos in the lagoons and three different species of them. The first few lagoons we saw had parts iced ov...

Arriving in Uyuni around 730 we began looking around all the tour operators for a tour of the salt flats. We were recommended a couple of companies but none of these had availability for today and were all quite pricey! We settled in the end for a company that offered us the same tour for around half the price with the only difference being we only had a Spanish guide. We set of in our four wheel drive and our driver immediately put me in charge of music, he wa...

We woke quite late today as a result of our lack of sleep from our night out and the ride down the death road.

We had a very unhealthy fried chicken and chips lunch followed by ice cream and went back to the hostel to book the bus and chi...

Feeling a little worse for wear we dragged ourselves out of bed at 630 to head down to the meeting place to begin our death road trip! After Browny forced down a milkshake and I a muffin we were off with our guide Steve. Our tour was us and Anthony, four Germans, an Aussie and a Canadian. We reached the start point and were handed our bikes along with a helmet and jacket, trousers, knee pads and goggles if we wanted them. We were each given an individual briefin...

One month left to go and four countries left to visit! Today was quite a stressful morning. Our bus to Bolivia was due to leave at 7:30am and the lady we booked our bus ticket with was meant to collect us at 7am from our hostel. At 7:20am and no sign of the lady we were beginning to think we would miss the bus. A minute or so later she turned up and after a quick taxi ride and running through the bus terminal to check in and pay tax, we very luckily made it. We g...
